cloudy sky and steady rain was tne
welcome they received. Tnere were not
less than two thousand ventursome
ones, however, and the cnlldrens 0ay
was pronounced splendid success leaV-
ing the rain out OF the question.
At FIVE minutes OF nine O'CLOCK, just ss
the fire alarm bell sounded the usual
one tap the Grand Army Band started
up lively tune and headed the child
rem In their march to the Cleveland q
Canton station. The procession was a
grand one and picture for study. The
happy children with their noon
lunch wrapped up In q DEMOCRAT
or some other paper marched IN
tw0s, the procession extending
from the square to the station.
Had IL not been for the rain II would
have been five times that length. At the
station the cars were taken for the
grounds, where they arrived In few
minutes, and despite the rain, they Inn
mediately began to enjoy themselves.
TARDY EXHIBITORS.
Many exhibitors in Floral and Art
halls were like children late at school,
tardy, and should be reprimanded;
scarcely half Of them had their space Oc
cupied when the children arrived on the
grounds, and much disappointment was
felt as this is the only day they will
have to see the great fair of Molly Stark.
Monday was fine day, and exhibitors
should then have prepared their dis
plays.
Al ten o'clock the Battalion arrived
on the grounds. At noon there we're
about three thousand people enjoying
the sights. The only thing required to
make the fair grand success Is fair
weather. There are about two thousand
entries, and the various departments
are we'll filled. Captain Bates, the
giant. was one OF the attractions for the
children. The Captain arrived via Mas.
sillon from Seville Monday evening,
with nineteen horses and colts which
he entered.
WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD DAY.
The attendance at the Fair today was
much larger than Tuesday, and would
have been still larger If the weather
had not been threatening. The wealth
or is the only thing upon which the sue
cess Of the fair depends, as there ls q
grand show, nearly three thousand en-
tries having been made. The displays,
both Floral and Art Halls are complete
